Additional information
As COVID-19 continues to impact on the NHS and wider society, my primary concern is, as always, the health and safety of the patients I serve. All consultations are done by virtual consultation.
Just like a face to face consultation, a detailed dietary assessment and medical history are taken. I will then discuss potential dietary options and work with you to produce an individually tailored dietary approach to help you address your symptoms and concerns.
You will receive any relevant supporting information and a written consultation summary, if needed, after the session. These will be sent electronically or by post if you prefer.
For a video consultation, the call is GDPR compliant.
